Patriotic Finishes for Friday!!!

Whoot Whoot!!  TWO!! Finishes..... well as finished as I get Quilts of Valor !!  You know I always like to spread the love, so someone else will add the binding....  ;-)

One of our Flags for Sue Tops. I pieced it, and well - I sorta really liked the gold so I decided I wanted to Quilt it ...and me, having it in my possession.... did just that!!




and the next one is a top that Kevin the Quilter made for us!
He came and spoke to our guild
( and of course, stayed with me - cuz my husband said he would cook.... Kevin knew it was safe!!)

and he left this top
and then he emailed me the block
and I promptly lost the information.
BUT!!  Never fear



I also have used this block - with my 30's prints Rainbow Scrap Challenge 2015 so I can tell you what I used!

Are you ready?




A close up of the quilting 

Hope you all had a great week
I was sorta shocked to find out that yesterday was Thursday, not Tuesday
..... sigh!

  1. The gold is a great frame. It's fun when you are so inspired by a quilt that you can quickly see it through to a finish.

  7. Those flags are so amazing on the cheddar background! Love it! I have been meaning to say that I would happily bind quilts for you, if you needed that help. I live in Loveland, but we could arrange to meet somewhere if ever you wanted some binding done. I love to sew bindings!

    Love both quilts, but especially the strip quilt made with 2 1/2 strips. We have a mountain of them - I suspect they multiply when we turn the lights out! I will suggest this pattern to my QOV group at our next meeting. Thanks and keep up your fantastic work. I love your blog.
